During chilly months, I fix this jambalaya at least once a month. It’s so easy…just chop the vegetables, dump everything in the slow cooker and forget it! Even my sons, who are picky about spicy things, like this dish.—Cindi Coss, Coppell, Texas

Great recipe! I followed the recipe exactly and it didn't need any tweaking at all. I did have to turn the Crockpot up to high for an hour or so though.

This is a fabulous recipe! I've made it at least a dozen times with no modifications and it is a hit every time. I use frozen, uncooked and deveined shrimp when fresh isn't available. Yummy!

Very good. It's a little on the spicy side and the chicken turned out slightly dry, very good overall though.

We didn't know we liked jambalaya 'til we tried this.

Solid thumbs up from the whole family. Decreased the hot sauce and cayenne to suit the kids' taste and just added hot sauce at the table. Also replace the green pepper with zucchini and okra, again, just personal preferences. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!

My family loves this. I can't use shell fish because of allergies, but I just add more sausage. We lived near Cajun country, and although this is not what they would call authentic, it sure is good. Be sure to use quality Andouille sausage. It makes a big difference. We all love hot spicy food, so after the first time, I added Tony Chachere's as well as all the spices indicated. This is on my rotation of regulars. Thanks Cindi.
